Hey Gerbils. I'm not sure under which category to post this here, so I thought the Back Porch would be safe. I just made myself a nice wallpaper after cropping a snazzy new AMD FX graphic, the same graphic found on those new Richland APU boxes, and then simply pasted the same cropped graphic on an AMD Game! Ready wallpaper. So, I thought, why not share it with other folks? Not sure if this is protected by some sort of copyright, but hey, I am helping AMD a bit here, am I not? If people make this their wallpaper, AMD scores an impression every time someone passes by their PC.

Just to make it crystal clear, I have nothing to do with AMD. AMD is simply one of my favorite brands in the world of computers. We all have our favorite companies, right? Whether it's a brand of car, processor, or dishwashing liquid. It's just the way the world is, for most folks, at least. And frankly, this is the most beautiful graphic that I've ever seen from them and I knew I wanted to put it on my desktop the moment I saw it.

I am TOTALLY using that wallpaper... ON MY HASWELL BOX!!

Oh yes, please do! That way, folks who use your PC and are amazed by how fast it is would buy an FX! LOL!

Sorry, bro, I don't have a larger stock Game! Ready wallpaper to put the FX graphic on. And even if I did, the FX chip should cover the Game! Ready logo completely. The Game! Ready logo is kinda big so I needed to scale the FX chip accordingly. As for the second wallpaper, I just grabbed a sexy wallpaper that looks suitable and large enough (and have a REAL babe on it!) to use as wallpaper on most desktops without looking too grainy. I then scaled the logo and text balloon accordingly.

Oh Ronch... you thought I was joking about using that wallpaper right?Well, I've got my 4.7GHz Haswell overclock running nicely (it even has decent temperatures when you are insane enough to delid the CPU like I did).

So.. without further ado, here are some photos of your desktop wallpaper as the backdrop to me running Cinebench 11.5 (under 64-bit Wine on my KDE desktop) on a 4770K that is OC'd to 4.7GHz:

Ah, I created another wallpaper, guys. Check it out. Click on the link on my signature below.

The humorless cybersecurity people who monitor our network thank you. How about a little warning next time, eh?

I didn't think anyone would be offended with the wallpaper, as I expect most of us here to be mature adults. And besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with her attire. You see those everywhere.

I certainly didn't. I liked it. But there is "offensive to man" and "offensive to lawyers" and guess which ones' opinions get turned into corporate policy?

There's also "offensive to overly PC types who then go running to a lawyer". I'd hazard a guess that the majority of lawyers would actually be OK with it; they're just in it for the money or playing CYA, depending which side they're on.
